If at first you don’t get what’s going on when you first set eyes on Bureau of Trade, you can do one of two things: 1) Simply scroll down until you see the icons bar of options: from automobiles to clothing to new pets (“companions”); click on any of them and see unfold before your eyes pictures of some absolutely awesome items up for sale on eBay and Craigslist. Or 2) Click on the ‘Archives’ button in the top right hand corner, which will take you to an archive of special, themed collections, featuring these items (they often cleverly coincide with current affairs, so there’s a selection of retro camera gear for the day when Kodak announced it had filed for bankruptcy!).
It’s a great site to browse when you need to kill a few minutes, just to see some of the cool items people have put up for sale, even if you’re not interested in buying (although there’s always a risk of an impulse purchase on cool sites like this).
